thanks, i'm gonna have to remove the brake booster on my 5.0.
I might be swaping to a 5 lug conversion with stang95 from spindles and disc brakes all around.
They are coming from Yohallin's donor car so i have a donor for the parts i need.

What's involved in this procedure?
thanks a lot.

it took me 2 days to swap my booster/mc all the brake lines, calipers, spindles, rotors, wheel bearings, rear end, etc.

probably 4 hours of actual wrenching, most of the time was me getting one bolt off or on under the dash for the booster, than having to get out and walk around to be able to feel my arms and get the pain out of my back from laying over the hump in the floorboard for the front seat, lol

yeah..sounds tedious.
I don't know. i guess i don't really need it. won't really do anything for performance just better brakes and i don't even need that, in reality i just drive this car around the block and to the track.
pm me how much you would pay for a used set up with a almost new freshly rebuilt 410 rearend as part of the trade.

Stockton, not quite sure what you're saying, but the booster has nothing to do with getting air into your brakes
